Vasu Kulkarni is the self-proclaimed biggest pick-up hoops fans in the world. He eats, sleeps, breathes, basketball and will not move out of his NYC apartment because he’s 45 seconds near a pick up game at all times. He also happens to be the former founder and CEO of Krossover, a sports analytics SaaS company selling video and data tools to sports teams around the world. Vasu nows invests in early stage sports, gaming, and collectible technology companies at Courtside Ventures. Vasu and I chat about how basketball can be used to evaluate talent in start-ups, what areas he’s looking to invest in, and more.
